• Expanded Open Software Ecosystem Accelerates Hybrid Cloud Integration
LAS VEGAS, NV (IBM Edge) – 19 Sep 2016 — /BackupReview.info/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) today launched cloud-ready systems, services and solutions that simplify the movement of data, applications and services across a hybrid cloud environment.
Organizations across all industries are investing in cloud technologies for innovation, growth and efficiency. Today’s clients are seeking a blend of public cloud, private cloud and traditional IT platforms. IBM’s new solutions help deepen this hybrid cloud integration.
“Today’s business environment is very dynamic and filled with disruption,” said Tom Rosamilia, senior vice president, IBM Systems. “A hybrid cloud model enables clients to continuously adapt while also optimizing on-premises investments. IBM is uniquely able to support the flexibility clients need across IBM Systems and the cloud.”
Clients are using IBM systems to take advantage of new capabilities, optimize their operations or support changing business demands. For example, HealthPlan Services, one of the nation’s leading healthcare technology companies, implemented a hybrid cloud solution to address a new space in the market created by the Affordable Care Act. Today, HealthPlan Services administers more than 30 percent of the Individual On/Off Exchange insurance market, as well as a significant percentage of the Group Insurance market.
“Our triple-digit growth and leadership directly correlates to our technology strategy and how our hybrid cloud architecture has fueled business innovation,” said Michael Lawley SVP of IT at HealthPlan Services. “We utilize IBM z, a technology that has adapted to disruptive change. It helped us deliver services, products and new opportunities for our business, as well as to our partners.”
